Give Said the Little Stream
Give Said the Little Stream Pg 236 of the Children’s songbook is a classic song know by many children and adults. The sweet message of this song is that even though you might be little, you are powerful and have many things you can do and gifts to give.

I have created a YouTube video to go along with this arrangement and you can find it…… Continue reading Have I Done Any Good?

I created this arrangement for two reasons. The first is that the original accompaniment is very hard to…… Continue reading An Angel Came to Joseph Smith

This is an upbeat, strong marchy song, amazingly written in a 3/4 time signature. Most marches are four counts per measure which lends…… Continue reading We’ll Bring the World His Truth
